<h1>Exporting origami to PDF</h1>

<p>When exporting to PDF, the program attempts to generate human-readable folding instructions from the data in the <a href="orifiles.html">origami file</a>, then saves it in a PDF file.
<p>These folding instructions are usually very vague because Origami Editor 3D does not have the adequate AI to express the various use cases of <a href="../basicediting/reflectiontool.html">Reflection Tool</a> in human terms. Sometimes it can distinguish between a simple fold, a reverse fold and a sink fold, but it needs more development to be perfectly unambiguous at all times.
<p>This feature is available from the <b>File &gt; Export &gt; To PDF...</b> menu. An example page of the generated PDF:
